im working on a remote desk protocol and need to share the keyboard input. im just starting but i know i will meet a lot of troubles later when needing to share shortcuts like ctrl+c, alt+tab etc…

thats my code for now.(the casting of the keys and the positioning of the mouse is just for debugging, ill later modify it to use threads and other features)

std::unordered_map<int, std::string> keyMap =
